Highlights
- The Holy Trinity is a perfectly equal blend of estate Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
- Cabernet Franc is the “father,” literally and figuratively, of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
- The Holy Trinity also refers to the perfect balance of fully ripe fruit, firm acidity and tannins
- Your wine is absolutely delicious, the product of a dreamlike harvest
Description
The 2018 harvest was a dream. It couldn't have been scripted any better by a Hollywood screenwriter complete with a rain event on Sept. 29 that gave us a much-needed pause in ripening and a chance to empty some tanks and bring in the last blocks of perfectly ripe fruit. Full phenolic maturity allied with firm acids and great mountain structure makes for a delicious wine with endless aging potential!
